Age of Adepts

"Trying to run?"

Grim sneered heedlessly.

He raised his right leg as thick as a stone pillar and stomped on the ground, the whole earth suddenly trembled, and then with the place he stepped on as the center, a huge spider web of fine cracks as large as a hundred meters in area split open.

Then, in a cracking noise, the spider web cracks extended rapidly in all directions at lightning speed, spreading to several miles away in almost no time at all.

The ground like a rubbed rag quickly undulated and trembled, crumbling out a terrifying ravine that was miles long and bottomless. And underneath the ground, there was even a huge roar, as if there was a huge dragon struggling and roaring, arching the entire ground high up and becoming fragmented.

The violent and ferocious earth fires were drawn out by Grim's flame rules, swiftly swirling and overflowing along a crack, and the steaming heat and terrifying streams of flame instantly turned the battlefield into a lava hell that no living creature could set foot on.

"Give me out!"

Grim shouted furiously, and the power of the Flame Rule wildly surged into the ground, instantly detonating the lava ground fire. At the center of the battlefield, an area a hundred meters square burst open, and thousands of tons of broken bedrock mixed with red hot magma, turning into a pillar of fire that flew into the sky.

And that multi-armed giant Zagu, who had just escaped into the ground, had not yet escaped from the battlefield before he was rushed into the air by an unusually thick, hot stream of magma flame.

"You forced me to do this..."

The multi-armed Giant Zagu was similarly furious, its multiple arms swinging and flapping wildly, stirring up a ripple of power that swept towards Grim like a tidal wave.

And its heavy body sank even more violently, shattering the streams of magma flames blowing on its body and falling quickly towards the ground. Under the manipulation of its earth rules, the ground also bulged with a stone pillar as thick as three meters, rumbling towards Zagu's feet.

As long as its sturdy giant legs touched the stone pillar, it could continue to draw out massive amounts of earth elements from the earth, thus sustaining its fighting needs.

Grim, who had already seen through the chip-aided view of its emptiness, hehehe stormed and grasped through the air with his big virtual hand, and a big puff of hot magma gathered together and condensed into a lava hand that swept across the sky with a whimper.

The stone pillars and giant legs that were just a hairsbreadth away from touching separated with a bang.

The stone pillar crumbled, while the multi-armed giant Zagu flew up into the sky like a small bird.

"Bastard, you're looking for death..."

The multi-armed giant Zagu was already missing a small half of its body due to its earlier self-destruct. Now that it had been struck into the sky by Grim with the power of fire, cutting off its direct connection to the earth, Zagu had become increasingly maniacal and violent.

In fact, the so-called Multi-Armed Giant was a variant of the legendary Godly Evil Hundred-Armed Giant. Thus also like the legendary Hundred-Armed Giant, they possessed the same great divine power and the powerful, almost terrifying rule of the earth.

Their most native power was petrification!

Only the multi-armed giant in front of him didn't see any sign of a third eye on his tan forehead, so it was unknown whether or not it possessed the Petrifying Rule.

That was the only reason Grim hadn't dared to engage in melee combat!

But fear what comes.

That multi-armed Giant Zagu went berserk to the extreme, and the sturdy arms that had been growing densely on both sides of its body burst into pieces with a bang, leaving only five pairs of arms in the end. And its thickest right hand fiercely sliced its forehead with one finger like a knife.

The flesh and blood broke apart there, opening a blood-soaked gap, and then a bizarrely huge eye was squeezed out of it.

The surface of the strange vertical eye was smooth and glistening, resembling an oval green emerald, but between the opening and closing of the eyelid, a strange power that paralyzed the body penetrated out, powerful and frightening.

"This is the petrifying power you forced me to use! Go to hell!"

It seemed like using this ability would do any serious damage to Zagu, yet at this point, in order to be able to escape the confinement of the Legendary Fire Witch Grim, it could only use its maximum power regardless.

Although it had lost the echo of the Earth's earth rules, but with only the energy reserves of its powerful body and the earth energy gathered from the many arms self-destructing, Zagu finally managed to activate the Petrified Eye.

The violent and incomparable earth element surged into that One Eye, transforming within it into a ray that emitted a faint earthy yellow glow, and rattled across the three miles to hit Grim Probe's blocking right arm.

Powerful petrified rules power was overflowing everywhere, and the rules flame within Grim's right arm couldn't stop such a ferocious invasion of rules power. It was as if the entire arm had been frozen, and the flesh, veins, tendons, and bones within were all losing their brilliance at a rate visible to the naked eye, turning grey and hard.

In the blink of an eye, the right arm that had been struck by the petrifying light had turned into gray stone. The powerful petrified rule power even extended down the arm quickly towards Grim's shoulders and torso.

If Grim didn't have the rule power to protect his body, I'm afraid this petrification rule would have petrified his entire body the moment it touched his flesh and blood. It was because of the massive amount of rule flames hoarded in his body, relying on the collision and repulsion between the two rule forces, Grim was able to buy himself some time to save himself.

Viper Devouring Hand, Strong Man's Hand!

The power of rules was something that was a million times harder to get rid of if you got a little bit of it.

Therefore, Grim didn't even have time to hesitate before violently thrusting his left hand into his right shoulder, and then the power of flame erupted, blasting his entire right arm along with the small half of his right shoulder.

Although most of such a huge body was an anthropomorphic projection of sorcery energy, every bit of energy and every piece of flesh and blood still maintained the closest connection with Grim's spiritual consciousness.

Only in this way could he drive such a huge kilometer body like an arm.

The enormous damage that the sudden arm break had brought to Grim was also inevitable.

But at this critical juncture, he didn't have the chance to weep bitterly, such a terrifying high level battlefield, a single distraction or slip could bring a terrible death to himself.

Grim endured the severe pain and forced most of the Flame Rule power in his body into his eyes. In the next second, two golden rays of condensed and refined essence shot out from the pupils of the eyes and cut through the long sky, cutting through the body of the multi-armed giant Zagu.

The power of fire possessed an incomparable fendering power, and the golden rays transformed by the flame rules were even more cutting.

Wherever the golden rays passed, the remaining arms of the Multi-Armed Giant that could not dodge broke and fell. The rays struck Zagu's body, bared and banged, penetrating to the gut, causing him to roar in pain.

Zagu's one eye turned, and the earthy yellow petrified rays and Grim's two golden rays intersected in mid-air. The petrifying and flaming forces were madly devouring and annihilating each other, the ripples of rule power spilling out in circles.

All the matter or life caught in the ripples were either instantly petrified into statues, or burst into flames with a bang, either way, it meant that their life had come to the end of their lives.

The battle between Grim and the Level 5 Multi-Armed Giant was so widespread that even the guys in the middle of it fled into the distance in panic. With their power, if they were affected by the power of rules like this, they wouldn't have any chance of surviving.

Therefore, the aftershocks and those stray bullets that spilled out when the high dimensional creatures fought were also very deadly!

In addition, the rule-based power driven by the high-dimensional creatures was formless, so the naked eye could not chase or lock onto them, and there was no way to dodge them. Moreover, the attacks of the high-dimensional creatures had a wide reach, most of them exceeding the limits of sight or perception of ordinary life forms.

As such, there was no possibility for ordinary creatures to participate in the high dimensional war, and even bystanders would have to risk their lives at great risk.

This was perhaps a kind of great power boundary between man and god!

According to the division of power in the world of the gods, the 5th stage had reached the standard of a true god. And while the peak of the 4th step had been transcendent, it was still within the realm of humans.

Since the start of the battle, the multi-armed giant Zagu had never dared to fight Grim in close combat, and one of the main reasons was the fear of the other party's terrifying 5th-ranked flame divine technique, 'Scorched Earth'. The other party had used this 5th stage Flame divine Art to kill a calamity small lord that was more powerful than it.

Therefore, until it was clear whether the other party could still release that 'Scorched Earth' or not, Zagu was determined to never come within 300 meters of Grim.

That was also the shortest distance it could confidently dodge the other party's attack!

But now, Grim didn't drive the 5th rank divine Art, only the powerful flame rules forced it into a dead end. The golden and petrifying rays were intersecting in midair, and Zagu, whose body was hanging in the air and unable to draw on the earth earth element, was undoubtedly going to be even more disadvantaged.

As a result, the point of intersection of the two rays began to move rapidly towards Zagu. This also immediately caused Zagu to break out in a cold sweat.

So far, there were more than ten clusters of golden flames quietly burning on its body. At the time of the great battle, it simply didn't have the time or energy to annihilate them all with the rules of earth.

If it were to be burned by Grim's golden rays extending over its body again, I'm afraid that even it wouldn't be able to hold down the indestructible flames and would be burned to the ground.

Zagu's once densely packed arms were now only three left, two left and one right. It pounded its arms against its chest, triggering the last of the powerful petrified force in its body to push the golden rays away, and then hurriedly sank down to dive under the earth again.

The only one arm left, Grim was also ruthless, and the Fire God Pearl in his body was pushed to the limit, a large mouth, a completely transparent and terrifying flame of light spurted out, hitting Zagu's skull squarely.

With a bang, the multi-armed giant head of the Level 5 Calamity Small Lord Zagu exploded, and his entire massive body crashed down like a giant mountain, smashing a terrifying crater in the ground.

Grim was relieved and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This was already the second rank 5 creature that had fallen into its hands since he had mastered the Flame Rule. What a glorious and terrifying feat for a 4th rank sorcerer who had yet to fully advance!
